Phillips Industries has added a new sealing component to its Permaplug product. The addition creates the Weather-Tite Permaplug and is expected to extend the life of the component.
The new addition is a thick rubberized protective seal with a 3-blade Nitrile wiper seal to lock out elements and corrosion-causing chemicals.
“Damage can be costly from unscheduled downtime, interruption in electrical power and even potential electrical arcing caused by moisture and contaminates in the socket. We felt a real need to improve this connection for safety as well as the longevity of the product. Connectors with the new Weather-Tite seal keep contaminants from damaging the electrical system,” said Bob Phillips, CEO & president.
Features of the new system include:
Blue nitrile sealing rings that stop magnesium chloride and other debris from entering socket
Mates with any SAE approved 7-way conductor socket
Wiper seals are field replaceable
Connector rear is sealed with compression clamp and TPR sleeve for further corrosion protection
Cable guard is ratchet locked preventing vibration from loosening guard
Connector has ABS bumper
26 gauge brass insert pins have stainless steel compression springs
Standard with dielectric grease
